Solar & Storage as Critical Infrastructure in Europe
Time: 09:10 - 09:30
Date: 15 April 2026
Synopsis
This session examines what it takes for utility-scale solar and storage to graduate from intermittent generation to genuine critical infrastructure: assets that industrial buyers can contract with confidence, grids can rely on under stress, and governments can point to as a pillar of energy sovereignty. We will set out what the next generation of European projects must deliver to earn the trust of offtakers, lenders, and policymakers through 2030.
